Welcome. Are you using one of the supported distributions, as of this writing Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) 32-bit, OpenSUSE 11.3 (GNOME) 32-bit, and Fedora 12 (GNOME) 32-bit?

If not, it's not guaranteed that the apps will work. If you want to test anyway, you need to ensure that you have a working FUSE installation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace

hello, everybody
i use gnu/linux debian distrib. when i download and run one of portablelinuxapps i see the next message:
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
open dir error: : No such file or directory
ok

Code: Select all

$ ls -la /dev | grep fuse
crw-rw----   1 root fuse         fuse
# chmod a+rw /dev/fuse
$ ls -la /dev/ | grep fuse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root fuse         fuse

run one more and see the next massage
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied
open dir error: : No such file or directory
ok

Code: Select all

$ ls -la /usr/bin/fusermount
-rwsr-xr--  1 root   fuse         /usr/bin/fusermount
# chmod a+x /usr/bin/fusermount
$ ls -la /usr/bin/fusermount
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root fuse         /usr/bin/fusermount

and very well!

Very simplistic script to set up the FUSE permissions.

I used this to get AppImages running on an otherwise untouched Scientific Linux release 6.3 Live CD.

Warning: Do this only on Live systems...

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

import os, sys, gtk

def error(message, parent=None):
    d = gtk.MessageDialog(parent,gtk.DIALOG_MODAL | gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR,gtk.BUTTONS_OK,message)
    d.set_default_response(gtk.RESPONSE_OK)
    r = d.run()
    d.destroy()
    sys.exit(message)

def do(command):
    print (Running ) % (command)
    os.system(command)

if (__name__ == "__main__"):
    if not os.geteuid() == 0:
        error('Must be run as root')
    os.system('mount | grep -e "live\|casper" >/dev/null') # FIXME: Properly check for Live systems
    os.system("chmod 777 /dev/fuse") # FIXME: check result
    os.system("chmod 4777 /usr/bin/fusermount") # FIXME: check result
    os.system("find /home -name *.AppImage -exec chmod a+x {} \;") # FIXME: check result
    # error(None, "Unfortunately support for AppImages could not be installed.\nThe following test failed:", "bar")
